Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or knee:

    “A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
    That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “He has no resolution, he shrinks from pain or labour in any of its shapes. His very attitude bespeaks this: he never straightens his knee joints, he stoops with his fat ill- shapen shoulders, and in walking he does not tread but shovel and slide.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
